Northgate Peaks are located 10 miles (16 km) north-northwest of Springdale, Utah, in Zion National Park.

[2][4] The peaks are composed of white Navajo Sandstone which exhibits some of the same cross-bedding seen on Checkerboard Mesa.

[5] The nearest higher neighbor is North Guardian Angel, 0.57 miles (0.92 km) to the south.

[3] Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into North Creek which is a tributary of the Virgin River.

This desert climate receives less than 10 inches (250 millimeters) of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.
